MAINTENANCE • Extremely quick and clean installation• Installation without glue, hammer or tapping block• Strong connections at the top and longitudinal edges

Protect the bottom of furniture and chair legs with strong felt caps to prevent scratching the �oor.Avoid bringing dirt, water and sand indoors by providing a suitable �oor mat at the entrance door.Use chairs and seats with soft casters Type W (EN 12590) that are suitable for a wooden �oor or use a suitable desk mat.

Lift furniture and never drag it over the �oor.

As with any natural product, sunlight can cause colour variations in the wood’s surface.

When laying a �oating �oor, you can walk on it during and immediately after installation. After laying, maintaining a temperature of between 18 °C and 24 °C and a relative air humidity level of between 45% and 65% is crucial to the performance of the �oor.During the summer months the air in a room is usually humid for this reason, it is strongly advised to maintain constant AC to obtain consistent humidity levels, the room should always be kept well ventilated.

Please follow the information and advice of the glue manufacturer regarding drying time.After laying, maintaining a temperature of between 18 °C and 24 °C and a relative air humidity level of between 45% and 65% is crucial to the performance of the �oor. During the summer months the air in a room is usually humid for this reason, it is strongly advised to maintain constant AC to obtain consistent humidity levels, the room should always be kept well ventilated.

Dry maintenance is possible with micro�ber cloth or with a vacuum cleaner. Make sure it is equipped with soft wheels and a special parquet brush to avoid scratches on your �oor. Never use a steam cleaner.

Direct wet maintenance is absolutely forbidden, when cleaning with a mop all excess water must be fully expelled from the mop, only a damp mop can be used while cleaning the floor with the recommended products.

All spillages must be dealt with immediately to prevent permanent damage to the �oor. Remove any water or liquids by botting the area with an absorbent towel, do not rub in a circular motion and spread the spillage further.

For best results the condition of the �oor needs to be monitored by maintenance personnel. Cleaning and re-oiling frequencies vary according to the location, seasonal conditions, the location of the �ooring within the installation (introduction of outside particulates and substances i.e. salt, asphalt, sand etc), the amount and type of tra�c on the �oor and other variables. The frequencies suggested are a minimum.


INSTALLATION AND CARE GUIDE

PREPARATION

The �oor has been dried beforehand to the optimum wood humidity level. The �ooringpanels must be acclimatised in their packaging for 48 hours in the room where the Swisshardwoods wooden �oor will �nally be laid.

Fresh screed must dry for at least 1 week per cm thickness up to 4 cm and 2 weeks per cm thickness over 4 cm, with su�cient ventilation. For example, a 6 cm screed must dry for at least 8 weeks. For the thickness over 6 cm you must add 3 to 4 weeks. The moisture content must be less than %2.5 for cement-bound screed (CM method) and %0.5 for an anhydrite-bound screed.

The sub�oor may not contain any unevenness of more than 5 mm per 2 metres AND 1 mm

Make sure the �oor base is �at, clean, �rm and dry.

per 20 cm. Larger irregularities must be evened out using Swiss hardwoods remommendedunderlay.

Check whether the old skirting-board can be removed. You can also leave the skirting on thewall and �nish the �oor with Swiss hardwoods pro�les.

Check that the doors can still open and close after the �oor and underlay have been installed(minimum + 1 cm).

Inspect all planks in su�cient light before and during installation. Planks with visible defectsmust never be used.

The �oor should preferably be installed parallel to how the light enters the room (visually more attractive).


PREPARATION

You can also choose a �oating or full-surface gluing installation for the parquet �oor. However,nailing or screwing the panels is not permitted. The panels can be clicked together easily thanksto the ingenious shape of the tongue and groove so glue is not necessary.

Wood is the main component of your Swiss hardwoods �oor. Because room humidity can vary – for example, between summer and winter – it is vital that the �oor is able to expand and contract.That's why you must leave an expansion joint on all sides of the �oor of minimum 10 to 15 mm,also around pipes, under doors and at doorsteps. Remember that the �oor may move in morethan one direction.In any case, make sure there is an expansion joint between different rooms (under doors, for example). These expansion joints are sealed with a pro�le attached to the sub�oor.

With lengths of more than 12 m and widths of more than 8 m, there should be an intermediateexpansion joint. Expansion and contraction are linear, so the greater the surface area, thegreater the tolerances need to be.

Uniclic® Multi�t panels are not suitable for use in damp spaces like bathrooms and saunas.

In addition to the standard tools (such as a hammer, saw, pencil, tape measure) for layingwooden �oors, you will need the following accessories:

installation kit (crowbar, spacers and special tapping block suitable for Uniclic, Swiss hardwoodsunderlay ) – underlay system or parquet glue.

Swiss hardwoodsUniclic Multi�t parquet can be laid with a �oating installation or glued full-surface to the sub�oor.Direct gluing can only be done on a screed that is suitable for this (�atness, adhesion, cracks, etc.)in accordance with the general rules and best practices of the trade. The �oor base must besufficiently dry, hard and homogenous. The general laying instructions for Swiss hardwoodsUniclic Multi�t parquet as described in this document apply here too. The same preparationsmust also be made (expansion joints, underlays, �oor heating, etc.).

If you are gluing your �oor, try to walk as little as possible on the glued section duringlaying.

If you chose a �oating installation, you must �rst lay the underlay across the breadth of the roomand then gradually as you lay the planks.It is vital that you use a levelling underlay to smooth away any unevenness in the �oor base. Inmost cases, a damp-inhibiting foil should be used against rising damp or condensation. Use ONLYone of the Swiss hardwoods underlay systems appropriate to the desired levelling capacity and thedesired thermal or acoustic insulation. These underlays have a damp-inhibiting layer built in.

swisshardwoods


Start with a complete plank. Saw o� the long tongue from the �rst panel.

Install the plank with the sawn o� edges against the wall. Put spacers provided in the installationkit between the plank and the wall. This ensures that your expansion joint is wide enough: 10to 15 mm.

The following instructions are for laying the �rst row.

Position the panel to be installed at an angle of 20 to °30 to the panel already laid. Move thepanel gently up and down and at the same time exert forward pressure. The panels will auto-matically click into place. Position the Uniclic tapping block over the short joint between thepanels and tap carefully until the panels fully align.

At the end of the �rst row, you need saw the plank. To obtain a clean cut, the top surface shouldface down when you use a jigsaw, or circular handsaw and up when you use a handsaw or acrosscut saw. Ensure that the end joints of the panels in two successive rows are never in line. Always ensurethat the joints are staggered by at least 15 cm.

We continue with the instructions for the installation of the second row to the last row, one by one.

Click the �rst panel of the second row in the previous row. Then also tilt the second panel of thesecond row in the previous row while holding the panel at an angle of °30 - 20 and moving itagainst the �rst panel of the second row. Press the panel down (drop-down system) and thepanels will engage automatically. This system is very practical when gluing the �oor because itis no longer necessary to move the planks crosswise and glue cannot seep into the joints.

PREPARATION


There must also be an 10 to 15 mm expansion joint between the last row and the wall. Keep thisin mind when sawing the last row of panels.In places where it is di�cult to lay the Uniclic Multi�t planks with the tapping block (e.g. next toa wall), you can tap them together with the crowbar and a hammer.

In rows where there is a pipe, make sure the pipe falls exactly in line with the joint between twopanels. Take a drill bit with the same diameter as the pipe plus 20 mm. Click the panels togetheron the short side and drill a hole centred on the joint between the two panels. Now you caninstall the panels on the �oor.

Proceed as follows:

1. Measure where the pipe will come through the plank. Don't forget to allow for the expansion joint.2. Take a drill bit measuring the diameter of the pipe plus 20+ mm for the expansion. Drill through the panel where the pipe will come through. 3. Extend the hole to the edge of the panel. 4. Lay the panel around the pipe. 5. Take another panel and saw a piece that �ts exactly in the remaining hole, and glue this piece with wood glue.

When sawing the panels ensure that the expansion joint under the door is at least 10 mm. If youcannot lift the panel, use an adapted tapping block or crowbar and hammer to tap the panelstogether.

Remove all spacers.

Install the skirting-boards. Never attach the skirting-boards to the �oor. This allows the �oor toexpand and contract under the skirting-board. In places where pro�les and skirting-boards cannot be �tted, �ll expansion gaps with elastic paste.

PREPARATION

OBSTACLES

FINISHING


When laying a �oating �oor, you can walk on it during installation and immediately afterwards. Afterlaying, maintaining a temperature of between 18 and 20 °C and a relative air humidity level of between45 and 65 % is also important for a wooden �oor. During the winter months, the air in a room is usuallyextremely dry. For this reason, it is best to place humidi�ers on the radiators to obtain a constanthumidity level. For large rooms, electric humidi�ers on the radiators to obtain a constant humiditylevel. For large rooms, electric humidi�ers will probably be necessary. In summer and autumn, whenthere is a high relative humidity, the room should be well ventilated.

Dry maintenance is possible with micro�ber cloth or with a vacuum cleaner.

Make sure it is equipped with soft wheels and a special parquet brush to avoid scratches on your�oor. Never use a steam cleaner.

Wet maintenance is absolutely forbidden.

For slightly damp cleaning we recommend the Swiss hardwoods maintenance kit (ask your localSwiss hardwoods dealer for these products). Remember that using other cleaning products maydamage your �oor. Always wipe dry immediately until no more moisture is visible on the �oor.Bevelled products must only be cleaned with a dry cloth. For our oiled wood �oors we recommendusing Swiss Hardwoods Oil Care once per year or as required to prevent your �oor from lookingdried-out and dull. With the Swiss hardwoods Oil Care you will restore the original look of your�oor. Always follow the instructions provided with the product carefully.

MAINTENANCE

The use of accessories other than Swiss hardwoods accessories may cause damage to your Swiss hardwoods �oor. In that case the warranty provided by Swiss hardwoods will be void. For this reason we would advise you to use only Swiss hardwoods accessories, which have been specially designed and tested for use with Swiss hardwoods �oor panels.

For any spillages, remove with a dry cloth or mop immediately.

Protect furniture and chair legs with strong felt caps. Avoid bringing dirt, water and sand indoorsby providing a suitable �oor mat at the door.

Use (o�ce) chairs and seats with soft casters Type W (EN 12590) that are suitable for a wooden �oorand/or use a suitable desk mat.

As with any natural product, sunlight can cause colour variations in the wood’s surface.
